Saturday Shenanigans If you caught my first post from Gatebil Rudskogen 2023, you’ll already know that the event’s first two days were exceptional. Saturday?

The Elmia Custom Motor Show in Sweden attracts a huge number of cars, and while the standard is extremely high you can always count on a few builds sticking out from the rest. I’ve got a number of these from Elmia 2023 to share with you in the coming days, and we’re going to start with two BMW E30s owned and built by […]
Sweden’s Finest At The Elmia Custom Motor Show
